Chapter Twelve

Tobi ran in front of Sakura with his arms spread out. His eyes bled red and his lips curled into a very unhappy scowl. Sasuke dropped his Katana to the ground and reached out to touch Tobi's shoulder. The little boy shook the hand off his shoulder harshly and faced his mother, he placed his small hands on the sides of her face and kissed her forehead.

"Tobi's a bad boy, Tobi couldn't protect Kaa-chan" Tobi whispered as he wrapped his arms around the woman who hugged him back. The young boy hiccuped as he tightened his hold on his mother, he vowed to never let anyone hurt his kaa-chan specially his tou-san. Tobi raised his head to look at Sasuke and shoot him a cold glare before snuggling back into Sakura's arms tighter.

"No baby, Tobi's a good boy and Kaa-chan loves Tobi" Sakura smiled warmly at the boy and kissed his nose. Sasuke watched the exchange and was clearly unhappy that his own son ,who he brought up and cared for, turn his back on him and loved this girl more than he loved his own father.

"Tobi, come" Sasuke called and knelt down to look the crimson-eyed boy. He would have been prouder if this happened in another set of circumstances, his son who was 4 years old had activated his sharingan beating his uncle the 'Uchiha Prodigy' who activated his at the ripe age of 7. This little boy who was sneering at him with sharingan spinning dangerously was his son who did not recognized him as his father.

"You hurt Tobi's kaa-chan" Tobi snarled at Sasuke, anger evident in every word he uttered.

"Tobi will never forgive you, Sasuke" The young boy growled out not bothering to even spare the older Uchiha a glance. The words were embedded in his mind and repeated in his head like a broken record.

"Tobi will never forgive you, Sasuke" 'Stop! Stop' Sasuke scowled as he gripped his head.

"Will never forgive you, Sasuke" 'Tobi' Sasuke screamed out in frustration and buried his face into his hands. He had finally noticed how much blood the girl was losing from the huge gash on the back of her head.

"Never forgive you" He could still hear his small voice growling at him and glaring at him with those crimson eyes he used to intimidate and kill those who crosses his path. The eyes he used on this girl as he tried to kill her.

"Never Forgive-" He was snapped out from his thoughts when he realized Tobi had started wailing again. Tobi looked at him begging him to help his mother, even if he did not look up at him, Tobi knew that Sasuke could help him to probably save his mother. The girl has fallen limp, cold and pale in the small boy's arms he knew she was still alive but if he wasn't touching her he'd think she was lifeless.

He could hear her faint heartbeat that slowed down. Her heartbeat came to a stop and Tobi's eyes widened as he tried to shake his mother awake, he started to wail into her, begging her to come back or take him with her. He does not care, he just wanted his kaa-chan back.

"You did this"

Sakura could hear everything happening around her, she just couldn't move her body which had turned numb after through all the pain she suffered. She could hear the small feet run up the wooden stairs and she could hear the commotion around her.

"What's wrong Tobi?" She heard a familiar voice yawn and ask her little boy. "Itachi-kun? What's wrong with Tobi?" Words she didn't have the strength to say. She couldn't move her body, she wanted to take Tobi and whisper to him that everything will be okay.

"Kaa-chan.. She.. Kaa-chan!" The little boy wailed and she heard a loud stomping sound shuffling downwards, she felt the small hands of her son hold her and she heard a body slam into the wall and wheezing. She heard an animalistic growl coming from one of the Uchiha's."Itachi-kun please don't hurt him, It was my fault for being weak"She tried to speak yet nothing came out, she tried to reach out to them yet nothing.

"What did you do!? WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO HER!?" Itachi had snapped, she had never heard him so angry. He actually sounded like he was gonna murder his younger brother, that's the thing she never wanted to happen. Yes, she may hate him for treating her badly but she did not know him and she does not know how he turned out like this.

Sakura heard slow footsteps coming down the steps. The newcomer had a familiar and quite feminine aura and she deemed her to be the Uchiha Matriarch herself. She could hear the sigh coming from the Uchiha Matriarch and it seems as if the boys had not noticed her arrival, Sasuke and Itachi were still growling at each other like animals and little Tobi was still wailing.

"STOP IT ALL OF YOU!" Mikoto screamed as she went over to the rosette laying in her own pool of blood. She checked on the girl's pulse where she felt a slow and faint drumming of the blood in her system. She snapped her eyes at her two sons and growled out. "Help her!" "No, help Sasuke-san. Please don't let Itachi-kun kill him."

Sakura felt two strong hands lift her to what she think is the villages' hospital. She had felt the chakras in the hospital suddenly shift towards her and ignore the other patients. The doctors in this hospital had ignored their duties to others to take care of her. "Help them, not me. They need it more than I need you guys." She had been staying in this hospital for longer than she anticipated, she felt the medicine getting injected to her body and a lot of other things. The doctors here weren't medics like in Konoha, that's why it is taking longer. "I'd love to train a few of them to make their jobs easier"

"Tobi-chan, You have to go home and rest!" Mikoto asked the little boy. "Tobi-chan should rest, he's been here for the past 10 days.. " Sakura knew he was there cause Tobi updated her on his life, he went to class in the morning and he came to the hospital to talk to her, she was indeed lucky to have a such a great son.

"Kaa-chan needs Tobi, Tobi wants to be the first to see kaa-chan wake u-" Tobi said and was interrupted by a yawn which he had been trying to hold down. Sakura felt like laughing but nothing came out, her son was so silly. He had to rest, this little boy is such a sweetheart. "I'm so lucky to be the mother of this wonderful child"

"You're tired, Tobi-chan. Let's go home and after you rest we can play ninjas?" Sasuke asked Tobi who ignored him."Answer him, Tobi-chan. He's trying" Sasuke sighed and completely stopped trying. "Sasuke-san, keep trying for Tobi-chan" She hated how Tobi acted towards his father, he may be an ass but she knew Sasuke loved his son so much and one mistake shouldn't destroy their bond.

"You have no right to look at her" Itachi snapped at Sasuke and Tobi nodded in agreement. "Oh he was looking at me? Why'd Tobi move away towards Itachi-kun? Poor Sasuke-san" Why must her son be stubborn.

"Boys, play nice. I'll be going back home to get Sakura-chan a change of clothes and prepare her food for when she wakes up" Mikoto smiled as she waved at her boys. Sakura could imagine the Uchiha Matriarch's warm smile and it made her want to smile.

"If she's gonna wake up" Sasuke muttered under his breath but it did not go unheard by all of the three other Uchihas in the room. The room was suddenly in an awkward silence but that was broken by a little boy's animalistic snarl. She was shocked her son could ever make that sound and answer back to his father.

"She's gonna wake up" Tobi growled out. "I am going to wake up, Tobi-chan. Please forgive Sasuke-kun already, he's suffering enough"

"Tachi-chan come, let's get Sakura-chan some flowers." Mikoto ushered Itachi to come with her and when he was gonna protest he received a cold look which instantly got him to stand up and go with her. Tobi's eyes went back to their soft and cheerful jade eyes when he looked at his mother, he sat himself on the hospital bed and kissed his mother's cheeks. "Mikoto-chan's so thoughtful, I could just imagine her glaring at Itachi-kun right now. Awe, Tobi-chan. I wish I could hold you and give you a kiss"

"Kaa-chan, Tobi misses you."I miss you too Tobi-chan" You know, Tobi's been a good boy "I don't doubt that you are a good boy" and Tobi's doing good in the academy "I'm so happy for you baby but that's something expected". Tobi's been here for um.. this many days."I wish I could see you"" Tobi held out all ten of his small fingers as he explained. "Kaa-chan, Wake up soon okay?"I am going to wake up soon hun, so I could hold you again" Teme said you are not gonna wake up but I know you will"Baby, don't call your father that.. He's just having a hard time adjusting"Kaa-chan is strong, she's very pretty too. Kaa-chan, Tobi loves you "Thank you baby, I love you too"" The little boy had leaned in her arms and slowly drifted to sleep. "Rest baby, I'll be here when you wake up"

"Teme.. He called me a teme" "He didn't mean it Sasuke-san, he's just mad" Sasuke scowled as he whispered. "Sakura, this is all your fault you know. "I'm so sorry Sasuke-san, I'm not gonna deny that it is my fault" You better wake your ass up so I can beat you half to death again. "I'll be holding you to that, and I am willing to accept whatever you'd want to do to me" You and your want to make everyone love you, you turned my parents against me. You turned Aniki and Shisui-baka against me. The worst part is you turned my son against me." "I didn't mean to Sasuke-san"

Sasuke shook as he growled out the words he had been holding back. He did not want anyone to see him like this, he cried quietly. He's losing his important people because of this rosette girl who he had been forced to marry. "Oh Kami-sama.. Please don't cry Sasuke-san. Kami-sama please give him strength"

"You're just like her you know" "Just like who? Sasuke-san?" Sasuke sighed sadly. "The want to please everyone, the unconditional love you have for everyone, the naivety you have with every action, the happiness you have through every and anything and the trust you put in people who do not deserve them" "It sounds like you truly liked this girl Sasuke-san, tell me more? I'd like to know you"

"You're so stupid you know that" "Haha, funny Sasuke-san. You've told me" He paused. "And with that you might just end up like her" "What happened to her? Who is her?"

She started getting the feeling back in her body, she had felt sore and pain shot through her entire body. She couldn't move anything yet but she can feel now, the numbness have subsided and she had been starting to wake up from what she knows is a medicine induced coma.

"I'll make it right, I'll fix it"
